{"product_id":"dimensions-of-counter-insurgency","title":"Dimensions of Counter-insurgency","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe once-neglected study of counter-insurgency operations has recently emerged as an area of central concern for Western governments and their military organizations. While counter-insurgency represents a hugely challenging form of contemporary warfare, there exists a considerable body of experience that offers assistance in the form of examples of both good and bad practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main aim of this book is to present these examples and the lessons that can be drawn from them. Such lessons can be of considerable benefit to today’s policy-makers and military practitioners. The book also considers how these lessons can actually fit into the contemporary framework – as defined by military, political and institutional logic – that shapes and bounds today’s counter-insurgency warfare. \u003cem\u003eDimensions of Counter-Insurgency\u003c\/em\u003e explores a number of key themes including: the experience of counter-insurgency in the Middle East; the contribution of maritime and air forces; the challenges posed in adapting Western armed forces to their new tasks; and the responses made – in light of the perceived need for international action against insurgencies – by multilateral institutions such as NATO and the European Union. This book features a broad range of contributions from academics and military thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis was previously published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eContemporary Security Policy.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233655476568,"sku":"9780415450379","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415450379_52c4b260-2e74-4c05-8dee-b39134a0ce04.jpg?v=1769240740","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dimensions-of-counter-insurgency","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
